My dream is Pocket 2, but here in Brazil the price is very high, I can't wait to have an opportunity to buy and improve the quality of my videos. Congratulations on the video.
I whip it out a lot, and show people what it is. They see that I am very skilled at using it. Whip it out carefully, or you’ll scratch it on a coat or pocket zipper. I have had mine for a while, and love it!
Just ran across this video and it was fantastic .. seen a lot of product and explainer videos out there but yours was well paced , simple and sprinkled with a little humor above all you get right to the point . I just got my pocket 2 and all of your tips are going to help me just get better and better . Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and doing it so well .
I'm making a research about vlogging cameras , thinking about DJI P2. I just found your video and I gotta tell you - I really enjoy your videos! The way you talk and show things is just nice :) It's hard not to like you:D great job, leaving a sub!
@@DavidDavies after few long weeks of a thorough research I finally made my decision - and bought Osmo Pocket 2 :)! In 2 days I suppose to have it, and I iust watched your video again , laughted at the jokes again :D amazing man
Just got it with creator combo, nd filters, selfie stick, charger, etc and a great case it all fits into. I also have the A6600 and will be bringing both on trips. Blown away by what this impossibly small camera and gimbal can do.
thanks Dave, this was very educational. You explain it clear and simple. My "word of the Day" for today is going to be "toot" for me. (I gotto use seven times in a day to make sure to sunk it in...) Good luck to me. :)
Great entertainment and review, subscribed. Thinking of buying one for my street evangelism will look a heck of a lot better than my hero 3 black footage!
Thanks for the amazing video, love it! have a quiestion, I do not know if someone ever respond but will try my chance :) Do you know what are the flash lights popping on the backround at 1:06 ? thanks!
I have a question. I'm seriously thinking of getting this. I'm a videographer, and do a bit of weddings. I was thinking of using this for outdoor ceremonies only and no this wouldn't be my only camera. I would use for the entrances and center cam during the ceremony. I do already use my Panasonic G9 on a gimbal works great, but auto focus isn't great it's not bad if you do what I do and use a prime lens, but with this I could actually do a small zoom in to change that center shot during the ceremony IE ring exchange, vows and maybe kiss. What are your thoughts?
Hi I'm fairly new to the pocket 2 and initially bought a set of standard ND filters but I found them to be a bit fiddly and soon got tired of switching out filters every 5-minutes to suit the varying lighting conditions so I purchased a pair of variable ND filters and these have proved to be really good. As they were only an experiment I didn't buy the most expensive I simply bought a reasonable brand and they've worked out fine. I no longer have to fiddle around changing the filters - all I have to do is rotate the bezel on the outer edge of the filter until my exposure value comes down to something close to what's required. Because I'm in the UK I shoot in 25 frames per second and always try to stick to a 50th of a second shutter speed but I'm coming round to thinking now that I might start filming in 50 frames per second at 100th shutter in order to be able to use the slow motion that you outlined so well in this video. After watching one of your previous videos I've also just invested in a z-axis stabilizer as I'm not exactly nimble these days and I need all the help I can get with smooth video! This has yet to be delivered and is on its way from Australia as we speak. Thanks for your very informative videos I've just subscribed 🙂
Hi Dave, ya I have not tried the Variable ND but they look interesting. Changing the filters can be a pain. I have also not tried the Z-axis so let me know how that works for you. Take care.
Hi Michelle, are you talking about a specific product? Most of the accessories I have are from amazon. Let me know if it's something specific and I can let you know where I got it from.
@@DavidDavies You mentioned a brand of filters you were testing (as they were sent to you). I was wondering about that product. I was also wondering what you were using to hold the camera and your phone.
Hello. I would like to ask if it's normal that my dji p2 battery drops even it is switch off. I left it 97% and when i switched on its 83% . Thanks for this video
Hey. Great video. You talked about expensive gimbals where there are no jumps. What expensive gimbal does the Go Pro 9 + 10 have that the jumps in it are not noticeable? Thanks
Great video. I cant get my head around AFs and AFC . Is AFS like manual focus ? so you click on it once and it's focused at that point. So for example Click AFS once on a landscape. Move behind a rock ( rock should be blurred out) Pan /slide left and landscape will be in focus. AFC always does auto focus Landscape is in focus move behind rocK and it will refocus on the rock when would you use AFS vs AFC Regards
Hello, thanks for this video. Sorry, maybe this will be a stupid question, BUT: We just got the Pocket 2, we did not bought any SD card yet, but we tried the camera with a mobile phone, and the image seems to be laggy when this little guy is following our movements. That's a normal "reaction"?
I have just got the pocket 2. Biggest mistake I make is looking at the camera itself like you would a normal action cam and NOT looking at the screen to see what you are actually recording. Guess I've just got to get used to the gimbal, never used one before. I've messed up nearly all my videos so far by doing this. There is definitely an art in using this camera, I'll get there in the end.
Don't feel bad about not looking at the lens, it took me a long time to stop looking at the screen. Now I always look at the lens and sometimes I just glance down at the screen to make sure I am centred.
@@Tensentities Yea I guess we are. I suppose it depends on what you use it for and what works best for you. I was using a "Normal" action camera before and so the gimble was a challenge. I was looking at the camera body and it turned out on looking at the recording that I had not recorded exactly what I wanted. With a normal camera you can basically point it in the direction you want and record, any fast camera movement translates to a fast camera movement, with this camera the gimble slows things down so there is a disconnect, a sort of lag to where the actual camera body is and where the lens is recording. Great for slow B roll shots though. It's a bit hard to explain until you actually use one. Once you get used to it, it's OK.
Very useful tips sir! I have a question. What iso level should i use in low light conditions? I also record at 24 frames and follow the 180 rule, so the shutter speed is at 1/48 or 1/50, but in this configuration it looks so dark in inside the house takes, should i increase the iso level?
Just got a Pocket 2 about 5 days ago and just love it! One thing I've noticed, though: so far I've been shooting everything in 4K, 60 fps, and uploaded the video to RUclips. Problem: sometimes it uploads 4K videos in 4K, other times it uploads in only 1080P - ALL 4K videos, too. Any idea why?
Congrats on the camera, I hope you enjoy it. I also shoot in 4k. If you are taking those 4k clips and uploading them directly to RUclips then it's probably RUclips taking your 4k video and down converting them to 1080p. I do know when I upload videos, especially to my other YT channel, The Lazy Camper RUclips channel it does take some time for RUclips to create the 4k version. RUclips will start with the smaller versions then work on making the 4k versions. A few times on that channel, it has taken over a day to make the 4k version. Good luck.
Wonderful list of mistakes! I just got mine about a week ago and am slowly learning more about it. It's going to be my main video camera for my PCT attempt this summer so I want to know as much as I can about it.
I really like your last point on "practice, practice, and more practice"! So, my question is, WHERE do you store all the footage? Hard disk? RUclips? Please advise. Thanks a lot!!
Hi - great tips thanks. Can you tell me what phone holder you are using at 9:10 as all the ones I’ve looked at grip the phone at the middle and end up pressing the buttons!!!! Thanks
Ha, it's funny you should mention this phone holder. I actually have a proper one but I could not find it (actually I found it today!) the phone holder in the video is a simple cell phone holder that you connect to a tripod to hold your phone during a zoom call. It was actually sent to me when I bought a few camera accessories. It actually is not that good, but I see your point about the buttons in the middle. I will try to find out exactly which phone holder it is if you like.
How is DJI Osmo Pocket 2 for indoor Real Estate videography with wide angle lens 60fps in low light condition ? Because This camera is on my bought compare to iPhone series
I have used it for Real Estate. Low light is a problem. I made sure it was on a nice bright day and all the blinds and curtains were open and all the lights were on, otherwise it can be dark. Have you try real estate videos with it?
Great video! I attached my Rode wireless 2 to my Osmo 2 with creator combo while attached to my phone and got a electronic buzzing, like interference. Have you had this problem and do you know how to fix this? Thanks!
Thanks, Dave. All good things to be aware of. For stability with my old (but great and solid as a rock!) Sony Handycam I do the smooth walked aided by having it on a Gorillapod with a couple of the legs splayed out for an attempted at balance. I may keep up the practice for the P2.
@@DavidDavies It is still giving me great service after about 10 years (got it for my son's wedding in Russia). It has been dropped on the road and on hard tiled floors, I've even had it handed back to me having lost it out of my pocket on a hill trek, and it still goes on. I've done all but one of my 200+ RUclipss using it (iPhone 6 for one). The Pocket 2 has a lot to live up to! I won't abandon the Handycam.;-)
Ya the video quality will not be as good indoors as it would be outdoors. It has a smaller sensor so it need plenty of light to give you a good image. Most cameras are like this. If shooting indoors I would not use the slow mode as it will look worse. With enough light I find the image of the Pocket 2 to be decent indoors, but much better outdoors. Good luck.
I just made a mistake watching your video without doing my own research or not being knowledgeable about sd cards. Before I watched your video I had already taken some videos. I just want to warn the people so they don't make the mistake I made. If you decide to format your SD card make sure you don't have any pics or videos because you can potentially lose important vids or pics by the way great video.
loved this mate ya talked at normal speed and explained at normal speed im from downunder can i film upside down am only joking will get this little pocket as i loved kayak racing an rowing again well done cheers an beers mate bobby j.
Hi Dave ,thank you for sharing. I can relate to the last few words" Don't beat yourself you will get better". Well that's exactly how I feel. I bought the Dji pocket 2 since December last year and it's only about a week ago that I am trying to learn it. I've been a still photographer for over 20 years now shooting mostly weddings and portraits. I want to incorporate some bts using the Dji pocket in my studio and outdoor portrait shoot. But I'm really struggling here. What would you recommend for a novice like myself and also what is the easiest way for me to edit these small clips to upload on instagram mostly. Any advise and recmmendation will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the comment, the Pocket 2 is great for BTS footage. As far as editing clips together, are you using any editing software or are you editing on the Mimo App? I use Adobe Premiere but if you are using the Mimo App you should be able to edit some of the clips together, I don't use the Mimo App for editing clips together but I understand you can, and you should be able to upload the edit piece to Instagram?
Love the video...but as a helpful suggestion...I hear 'NOW' many many times. Something that may help in future videos. Thanks for the review and nicely done.
Frames per second is definitely a personal choice. I tend to shoot at 24 fps with my Osmo Action too. But, shooting at both 24 fps and 60 fps seems like an odd choice. Have you tried shooting at 48 fps instead of 60 fps? It's far easier to process halving or doubling speed. 30 and 60 fps or 24 and 48 fps is the diggity. I am still considering a Pocket 2, so thanks for your perspective.
You make a good point, I have never tried shooting in 48 fps. For my RUclips channel and my personal videos I mostly shooting in 24 fps but for my professional work, especially broadcast work they want everything to be 30 fps (29.97 fps) so I normally shoot to those formats. I will have to try 48 fps and see the results. Thanks
Good question. I could shoot at 48 fps and on a 24 fps timeline the footage would be slowed down by 50%, but with shooting 60 fps I can slow it down to 80% and I like that look a bit better because it's a bit slower, but there is nothing wrong with shooting in 48 fps.
Hello great video!! Do you know why the Pocket 2 camera points directly to ceiling every time I walk into any building where the ceiling is well lit or there’s a giant skylight like a mall?
I 3D printed a new design for a holder for the pocket 2 with do it all handle and iPhone but the phone is on the right side not left and I can attach a 3 way power cable to the I phone and pocket 2 and can shoot for hours with a 10,000 mAh power bank.
Hi Dave! Thanks for sharing and making this so fun to watch! I just got my pocket 2 and I have been having overheating problem. Is this common? Do you have issues with it?
My has never overheated and I have used it in some really hot conditions. I tried to turn it off right away when I am not using it. If your camera is overheating it may be a defect. Mine does get warm but never where it overheats.
The Pocket 2 is a great camera but it is much different from a Go Pro or the Osmo Action. I have the Pocket 2 and the Osmo Action and I used them both but for different reasons.
Enjoyed the video, Dave. I just became aware of the Pocket 2 and trying to decide if I should spring for it. The idea of having such a compact gimbal with the camera built in really appeals to me. I've own a ZHIYUN gimbal for two years and can count on one hand the number of times I've used it. QUESTION: What do you think of the Pocket 2 from a casual photography perspective. I'll be heading to Disney World in about a month and was wondering about the quality of photos and also how easy it would be to bounce back and forth between taking video and photos. What-a-ya think?
Thanks for the comment. I totally agree with you about the larger gimbals, they work great but such a pain. That's what is great about the Pocket 2, so small and simple. As for photos it does a decent job, I actually really like the pano features, but I wouldn't rely on it if you are looking to get really high end photos. I actually took the Osmo Pocket, original version with me to Disney in 2019, I just bought the camera and the firmware wasn't great but it was perfect for Disney with the family. Have a good trip.
Many thanks for great tips for me as a beginner to the Osmo Pocket 2. One request: Do you suggest using filters even in automode? Contrary to DSLR's I'm not going to use the Osmo in the manual mode 90% of the time, I guess, it's a quick vlogging option for me with no hassle to worry about. Many thanks, I'll be following the channel.
Hi Martin, yes the filters will still help in auto mode but they they work best in manual mode. If you are using the Pocket 2 for quick vlogging I would just try it in Auto mode without any filter to see if you are happy with the results. For taking head shots you may be fine. Good luck.
Dave… love the vids. I need help. My wife and I find ourselves out and about with the pocket 2 combo. But we find the micro won’t pick up the other persons audio. Duel mic setup? We’re within 5’. Got a hack for us?
Hi there, that's odd. Are you using the internal microphone or an external mic? With the internal, or camera mic, I know the camera tries to use the microphone in which the gimbal is pointing but I thought it records multiple channels. Are you on opposite sides of the camera?
Yeah… she’s not always facing the pocket 2. We tried putting the mic on her but it shuts off the internal mic… so that failed. Since I commented I may have a solution from Rode with their Go ii. We can both mic up. We’ll be trialing it tomorrow. Tech guy was generous enough to let me test it at home verse at his shop

Thanks, Dave. All good things to be aware of. For stability with my old (but great and solid as a rock!) Sony Handycam I do the smooth walked aided by having it on a Gorillapod with a couple of the legs splayed out for an attempted at balance. I may keep up the practice for the P2.
Thanks Terry, ah the good old Sony Handycams!
@@DavidDavies It is still giving me great service after about 10 years (got it for my son's wedding in Russia). It has been dropped on the road and on hard tiled floors, I've even had it handed back to me having lost it out of my pocket on a hill trek, and it still goes on. I've done all but one of my 200+ RUclipss using it (iPhone 6 for one). The Pocket 2 has a lot to live up to! I won't abandon the Handycam.;-)
Which little case with the loop do you use for the camera?
Are you talking about my leather case? It's from mega gear, it fits the original Osmo pocket really well and it's a bit tight on the Pocket 2.
Best ninja walk reference ever!🤣
ya my wife didn't care for my wording!
I am very new to the pocket 2 I love it but I found that vedio indoor is not good am I missing something?
Ya the video quality will not be as good indoors as it would be outdoors. It has a smaller sensor so it need plenty of light to give you a good image. Most cameras are like this. If shooting indoors I would not use the slow mode as it will look worse. With enough light I find the image of the Pocket 2 to be decent indoors, but much better outdoors. Good luck.
I have made many of these mistakes!!! Thanks for the video, you should do a Q and A video on the osmo pocket and pocket 2?
Damn you Sabrina! Now you just gave me the idea of making a Q and A video. Damn it 😀
Now! Thanks for the video.
I just made a mistake watching your video without doing my own research or not being knowledgeable about sd cards. Before I watched your video I had already taken some videos. I just want to warn the people so they don't make the mistake I made. If you decide to format your SD card make sure you don't have any pics or videos because you can potentially lose important vids or pics by the way great video.
loved this mate ya talked at normal speed and explained at normal speed im from downunder can i film upside down am only joking will get this little pocket as i loved kayak racing an rowing again well done cheers an beers mate bobby j.
Thanks Robert, I would love to see your Kayak footage.

Another great video well delivered
Thanks Waltham, I appreciate it.
Hi Dave ,thank you for sharing. I can relate to the last few words" Don't beat yourself you will get better". Well that's exactly how I feel. I bought the Dji pocket 2 since December last year and it's only about a week ago that I am trying to learn it. I've been a still photographer for over 20 years now shooting mostly weddings and portraits. I want to incorporate some bts using the Dji pocket in my studio and outdoor portrait shoot. But I'm really struggling here. What would you recommend for a novice like myself and also what is the easiest way for me to edit these small clips to upload on instagram mostly. Any advise and recmmendation will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the comment, the Pocket 2 is great for BTS footage. As far as editing clips together, are you using any editing software or are you editing on the Mimo App? I use Adobe Premiere but if you are using the Mimo App you should be able to edit some of the clips together, I don't use the Mimo App for editing clips together but I understand you can, and you should be able to upload the edit piece to Instagram?
Love the video...but as a helpful suggestion...I hear 'NOW' many many times. Something that may help in future videos. Thanks for the review and nicely done.
Thanks Mike. Yes I say NOW way too many times, it's like my crutch. I have improved it on my newer videos. Many have noticed. I am working on it!!
Frames per second is definitely a personal choice. I tend to shoot at 24 fps with my Osmo Action too. But, shooting at both 24 fps and 60 fps seems like an odd choice. Have you tried shooting at 48 fps instead of 60 fps? It's far easier to process halving or doubling speed. 30 and 60 fps or 24 and 48 fps is the diggity. I am still considering a Pocket 2, so thanks for your perspective.
You make a good point, I have never tried shooting in 48 fps. For my RUclips channel and my personal videos I mostly shooting in 24 fps but for my professional work, especially broadcast work they want everything to be 30 fps (29.97 fps) so I normally shoot to those formats. I will have to try 48 fps and see the results. Thanks
How come you wouldn’t shoot at 48fps for slowmo if you normally shoot at 24fps?
Love the video btw 👍👍
Good question. I could shoot at 48 fps and on a 24 fps timeline the footage would be slowed down by 50%, but with shooting 60 fps I can slow it down to 80% and I like that look a bit better because it's a bit slower, but there is nothing wrong with shooting in 48 fps.
Nice video, thanks for this. Trying to watch all but curious about tempered glass screen protector, do you think yay or nay?
I wouldn't use a glass protector. It can effect the image so I wouldn't trust it. Just be very careful with the little gimbal head.
@@DavidDavies That was my thinking too (only after I'd bought one, though!!!). Thanks for getting back to me. Much appreciated.
Hello great video!! Do you know why the Pocket 2 camera points directly to ceiling every time I walk into any building where the ceiling is well lit or there’s a giant skylight like a mall?
Do you have the face tracking on when this happens? Sometimes the face tracking can really cause problems.
@@DavidDavies Yes actually. Ok good to know! Thank you for responding! Love your channel!
I 3D printed a new design for a holder for the pocket 2 with do it all handle and iPhone but the phone is on the right side not left and I can attach a 3 way power cable to the I phone and pocket 2 and can shoot for hours with a 10,000 mAh power bank.
Nice, I wish I had a 3D printer, although I would probably screw it up :) How is the setup for you?
Hi Dave! Thanks for sharing and making this so fun to watch! I just got my pocket 2 and I have been having overheating problem. Is this common? Do you have issues with it?
My has never overheated and I have used it in some really hot conditions. I tried to turn it off right away when I am not using it. If your camera is overheating it may be a defect. Mine does get warm but never where it overheats.
Thanks for your advise Sir. :)) just bought this little thing the other day :))
I was going to but those camera. I have a go pro 9 do you think i would be foolish if I buy this camera?
Can you lat me know?
The Pocket 2 is a great camera but it is much different from a Go Pro or the Osmo Action. I have the Pocket 2 and the Osmo Action and I used them both but for different reasons.
Enjoyed the video, Dave. I just became aware of the Pocket 2 and trying to decide if I should spring for it. The idea of having such a compact gimbal with the camera built in really appeals to me. I've own a ZHIYUN gimbal for two years and can count on one hand the number of times I've used it. QUESTION: What do you think of the Pocket 2 from a casual photography perspective. I'll be heading to Disney World in about a month and was wondering about the quality of photos and also how easy it would be to bounce back and forth between taking video and photos. What-a-ya think?
Thanks for the comment. I totally agree with you about the larger gimbals, they work great but such a pain. That's what is great about the Pocket 2, so small and simple. As for photos it does a decent job, I actually really like the pano features, but I wouldn't rely on it if you are looking to get really high end photos. I actually took the Osmo Pocket, original version with me to Disney in 2019, I just bought the camera and the firmware wasn't great but it was perfect for Disney with the family. Have a good trip.
Many thanks for great tips for me as a beginner to the Osmo Pocket 2. One request: Do you suggest using filters even in automode? Contrary to DSLR's I'm not going to use the Osmo in the manual mode 90% of the time, I guess, it's a quick vlogging option for me with no hassle to worry about. Many thanks, I'll be following the channel.
Hi Martin, yes the filters will still help in auto mode but they they work best in manual mode. If you are using the Pocket 2 for quick vlogging I would just try it in Auto mode without any filter to see if you are happy with the results. For taking head shots you may be fine. Good luck.
Thank for this
Dave… love the vids. I need help. My wife and I find ourselves out and about with the pocket 2 combo. But we find the micro won’t pick up the other persons audio. Duel mic setup? We’re within 5’. Got a hack for us?
Hi there, that's odd. Are you using the internal microphone or an external mic? With the internal, or camera mic, I know the camera tries to use the microphone in which the gimbal is pointing but I thought it records multiple channels. Are you on opposite sides of the camera?
Yeah… she’s not always facing the pocket 2. We tried putting the mic on her but it shuts off the internal mic… so that failed. Since I commented I may have a solution from Rode with their Go ii. We can both mic up. We’ll be trialing it tomorrow. Tech guy was generous enough to let me test it at home verse at his shop
